Homework Programme
Each child will receive a reading diary and homework book in order to complete homework tasks.
Reading – daily reading is given a high priority from reception to year 6. Children across the school will be expected to read at least 5 times per week. Reading entries will be recorded in a reading diary which all the children will be provided with.

Home learning projects – As part of our inclusive curriculum, all classes will be asked to complete a home learning project once a half term. These projects, take away homework, are linked to the class learning theme and children have a choice of which task they wish to complete at home.
Behavior / Peg System
In school we follow 4 simple rules:
- We are kind and polite to others
- We do as we are asked first time
- We keep our hands and feet to ourselves
- We respect school and our own property
Should the children break a rule they be reminded of the rule broken and their peg will be moved. Should this continue, their peg will be moved through to amber and then red. They may be sent to an alternative class before being sent to the head teacher.
